Battle Between Family

Bit's anger seemed to consume every part of him. The Liger, sensing the anger, roared a frightening roar that was meant to challenge any one who had a problem with its partner. As they raced through the desolate tract the Hover Cargo got ready to launch all their Zoids to come to Bit's aid if needed.

"Liger, we're not going to let him get away, are we?" The Liger roared. "That Griffindor thinks it's so great but we can defeat it without any special armor to help, because me and you, Liger, are the best there was, is, and will ever be!" The Liger pushed forward. The partners knew what each wanted, and it was the same thing.

********************************************************

Taro sat next to the dead Blade Liger. Rivers of tears streamed down his face as he stared at the zoid. 'Why,' he thought. 'Why did I do this to my own sister? She didn't do anything to deserve death. I'm the one who killed mom and dad. I'm the one who caused them pain. Yet when ever I'm in that zoid my anger skyrockets and I can't control myself. Every time that Zoid comes near me.' He stood up.

"Kotaryr, if you can hear me in the afterlife, please don't hate me! I have made a big mistake. I love you, and I love Bit. May I pay for the things I have done. Let me pay for it!" He stood up and realized this wouldn't be the last death. He knew he was going to get back in the Griffindor, and he knew that he was going to try and kill his last family member. He would try and kill Bit. "Bit, come and take revenge. I wish to die by your hands. I only pray that your zoid can take it."

The power and evilness of the Griffindor drew him back into the cockpit, where he once again became the evil Taro Cloud.

********************************************************

The two zoids clashed together, unexpectedly. It was the Liger vs. the Griffindor. Some how the Griffindor had snuck up on the Liger but Liger's reflexes were amazing. As the two zoids rolled on the ground the pilots screamed profanities toward each other. Bit managed to get the Liger away from the Griffindor long enough to fire a few shots at him. It seemed to have little effect on the zoid.

"I don't understand why you hate me so much!" yelled Bit. "But I will defeat you!"

"You may try, little brother, but you will never succeed." A charged particle cannon fired up, and it directed towards Bit. It fired and hit directly. Bit's scream could be heard in all the other zoids.

Smoke cleared and the downed Liger Zero seemed almost whole, considering it had just been hit with one of the strongest weapons on planet Zi. In his cockpit, Taro smiled evilly.

"Looks like it's the end for you Bit, but just in case you're not fully dead, I'll finish you off." Taro moved the Griffindor forward. Leena's face showed on the com-link.

"How could you kill your own brother!" She screamed at him with tears running down her cheeks. "And your sister too." She sobbed.

"Silly little girl, I killed them because I…"

"D-don't….think…I'm….finished...yet, Taro." To everyone's surprise the Liger was slowly getting up. It staggered once but remained standing.

"BIT!" Leena yelled in happiness. "You're alive!"

"You bet." Bit's face appeared on the com-link in Taro's cockpit next to Leena's. His face was bleeding from multiple cuts. One crossed across his forehead. A little bit dripped for the corner of his mouth, which wore the same cocky grin as usual. He wiped the blood from his mouth and sent Taro a look of complete resolve. "Liger, and I are not ready to give up because of one measly shot. Right, Liger?" The Liger lifted its head and roared. "LETS GO, LIGER! WE'LL GET HIM!" Liger streaked forward, and his claws began to glow gold. "Strike…Laser…Cla…"

"STOP!" Bit pulled hard on the controls and Liger toppled over at the sound of the voice. Every one looked to see who it was.

Its silver blades were out and prepared for battle. It was badly damaged, and it was obvious. On Bit's com-link a fuzzy picture appeared. Her eyes were wide, and tears stained her cheeks.

"Bit… Oh god, Bit! Run! Leave me. I'll deal with it. Just please run."

"Kotaryr," Bit whispered. "You were dead."

"RUN! Take Leena with you. Just go!" In her voice was something that just couldn't be disobeyed. He turned the Liger and ran away as fast as possible. "You're the only one of the Cloud family left now, Bit. Keep our name alive!"

Any cockiness disappeared as Bit ran. Tears streamed down his face. "Leena! Run!"

"Bit?"

"RUN!" Behind them there was a huge explosion. Bit winced, but kept running. And soon him and Leena met up with the others and went to the Hover Cargo.

********************************************************

The Hover Cargo stood at the spot where the explosion had occurred. There was only a few scraps left of what had been the Griffindor and Bit's brother.

Bit walked around the area and found there was no sign of the black Blade Liger. "That's weird," he said to himself. "She was here. I saw her, Leena saw her… KOTARYR!" He yelled. He heard soft sobbing and went to investigate.

She was bloody all over. Almost nothing was left of her clothing. Her long brown hair was matted to her head. She was kneeled down next to the cockpit of the Griffindor.

"Kotaryr?"

"Bit, he wasn't so bad. It was the zoid taking all his hatred and regrets and making him evil." She looked up at him. "He killed our parents though, and I can never forget that. He knew he needed to die." Bit hugged her closely to him, staining his clothing red.

"He did. Now lets go back inside, and get you cleaned up. Forget about this. Where's the Blade Liger?" Still in his arms, she pointed behind Bit and the Hover Cargo. Bit looked.

The zoids blades were both broken off and the cockpit cover was cracked. "It doesn't work. I killed it." She sobbed. Bit sighed.

"Let's go in. I'm sure we can find some one to come out here and fix it for us." She nodded and wiped her tears away.

"Ok, big brother." Bit took off his shirt and gave it to cover her. Together they walked inside.

This chapter is done! FINALLY! First I had major writers block (don't you hate it when that happens) and then I left my disk at my boyfriends house. It was just a mess!

I hope you like it. There is only a little left of the story. You'll see what happens next when I figure out what's gonna happen next.

Hey, but until then, please check out some of my other stuff. I don't get any reviews for them. :-(
